I'm hoping this arrives soon, I can't wait to run it.
I'm also still waiting on a Fleischmann mill off ebay.
Shipping takes too long for me.  |

The water mill has arrived.
It is a little bigger than I thought it would be.
It didn't work at first, but I took it apart and got it working very well, just by cranking it with my hand.
I can't wait to get it hooked up to a steam engine:
You can kind of see the water coming out:

There was another marklin watermill last week on german ebay.
In better condition, but also was sold for more than 120 euro's
So this one was a bargain  _________________ ....."Remember: It's Bi-Mon-Sci-Fi-Con"..... |
